    IIRC straight sixes are natually perfectly balanced, as are boxers.

    V-6’s definately arent and so neither are V-12’s
    You are correct. The straight 6 is the one. In particular the ‎3.2L S54B32 I6 from the E46 BMW M3 is my favourite engine of all time. It is so good in fact that McLaren bolted 2 slightly earlier versions together to power the F1.

    Tip: The E46 M3 will start getting very expensive over the next 5 years. If you have any money that is not stuck in crypto they are one hell of an investment at current prices.

      Anyhow when I need to fly (traffic at race events) there are always 6 of these.

                Of course.
                I don't consider barelling along the autobahn at 120 mph with my family in the idiotic belief that an Audi will save them if something goes wrong is the right thing to do
                Strange that.

                  have you never experienced the joys of motoring ?

                    Drove past it, the hotel was full of old boys on the telephone saying they had found such and such a car at only 450,000...The hotel carpark had a few UK registered cars but they all seemed to be some variation of a Skoda VR so I made sure the F80 was parked in a prominent place

                    (I was in Essen to see the Hi-Fi Spitfires if you really want to know....)
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      The joys of motoring i.e. speed and handling can be best experienced (1) without endangering your family and (2) definitely NOT in an SUV

                      Give it up, you're embarassing yourself and digging further with every post.
